ABC Local Radio will launch The Care Squeeze on Monday, shining a spotlight on the 1.5 million Australians simultaneously raising children while caring for ageing parents.
With Australians living longer and many choosing to start families later in life, more people are finding themselves part of the sandwich generation, juggling responsibilities on both ends of the care spectrum.
Ahead of upcoming changes to the Aged Care Act, The Care Squeeze is a dedicated day to explore the unique pressures this generation faces.
Throughout the day on Monday 30 June, ABC Local Radio and ABC News will lead a national conversation, sharing personal stories from everyday Australians and insights from experts. We’ll explore the emotional toll of caregiving, offer tips for navigating the complex aged care system, and provide practical advice to help the sandwich generation manage difficult conversations.
The day will be captured online with a live blog sharing the different perspectives and conversations from around the country via ABC News online.
The audience can join the conversation and access expert advice by tuning in to their ABC Local Radio station or via the ABC Listen app.
